OCT. 21: PETE SEEGER MARCHES WITH OCCUPY WALL STREET

"Pete Seeger, with canes, joined the Occupy Wall Street protests on Friday night. The 92-year-old marched from 95th Street to Columbus Circle." Marcus Yam for The New York Times.

NYTimes news article: "Pete Seeger Leads Protesters, on Foot and in Song" by Colin Moynihan

Here's two videos shot and captioned by Michael Moore...

"If Pete Seeger can walk 36 blocks at midnight with Occupy Wall Street, then so can you.

"92-year-old folk legend Pete Seeger (seen waving cane at 50-second mark) marches 36 blocks with Occupy Wall Street from a performance at Symphony Space on Broadway and 95th Street in the Upper West Side of Manhattan down to Broadway and 59th Street for a sing-a-long at Columbus Circle.

"This footage was shot shortly after midnight as the protesters neared Columbus Circle...."



"Pete Seeger, Tao Rodríguez-Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, Guy Davis, Tom Paxton, Tom Chapin and David Amram joined Occupy Wall Street on a march from Broadway and 95th Street in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, down to Columbus Circle at Broadway and 59th Street. When we got there, this is what happened..."

STREET RADS: SLAVOJ ZIZEK, NAOMI KLEIN ADDRESS TO OCCUPY WALL STREET

(Note: Because Occupy Wall Street does not have permit for electric amplification, occupants use a technique called "public mic" in which those closest to the speaker repeat their words in unison so that others further from the speaker can hear what is being said.)

"THIS IS THE US FALL": TEXT OF Dr. Cornel West's address at Occupy Wall Street, Sept 27, 2011

transcript by me from video — please help with corrections

Dr. Cornel West's address to the Occupy Wall Street General Assembly, Sept 27, 2011 circa 7:05pm EDT

There is a sweet spirit in this place.

I hope you can feel the love and inspiration — those [inaud] of everyday people who take a stand with great courage and compassion because we oppose the greed of Wall Street oligarchs and corporate plutocrats who squeeze the democratic juices out of this country and other places around the world.

I am so blessed to be here! It got me spiritually breakdancing on the way here! Because when you bring folks together, of all colors, all cultures, all genders, all sexual orientations, the elite will tremble in their boots. [cheers]

And we will send a message that this is the US Fall, responding to the Arab Spring, and it is going to hit Chicago, Los Angeles, Phoenix Arizona, H-Town [A-town?] itself, moving on to Detroit, hitting Appalachia, and hit the reservations with our red brothers and sisters.

Martin Luther King, Jr. will smile from the grave and say we moving step by step to what he called a revolution. Don't be afraid to say "revolution"!

We want a transfer of power from the oligarchs to ordinary citizens, with the poor children of all colors, and the orphans and the widows, and the elderly, and the working folk.

Cuz we connect the prison industrial complex with the military industrial complex with the Wall Street oligarchy complex and the corporate media multiplex.

I want to thank you. It's a blessing to be a small part of this magnificent gathering. This is the general assembly consecrated by your witness and your body and your mind!

[cheers]
